Abstract: A cell-based phenotypic assay revealed that the
rtT301A mutation dramatically impaired the replication ability with meaningful reduction in sensitivity to tenofovir in
hepatoma cell lines.
Abstract: However, attenuated viral replication by the
rtT301A mutation was significantly restored in primary human hepatocytes (PHHs).
Abstract: Interestingly, a threonine to alanine mutation at the 301 amino acid position of the
reverse-transcriptase (
RT) domain, (
rtT301A), was commonly accompanied with CYELMVI at a high rate (72.7%).
